Mark Daly (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Like my colleague, Senator Lawless, I welcome the Speaker of the House of Representatives. There was a powerful communication from her to the UK Government in London that there would be no UK-US trade agreement unless the Good Friday Agreement was protected in full. I propose to the Leader, and would be interested in the response, that in light of the number of divisions we are having and the fact that she is addressing the Dáil in less than 20 minutes, and that we are invited to attend, 60 Members of this House not being in attendance because of divisions would be disrespectful to our guest.
